Bloomingdale School - Worcester MA - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

The former Bloomingdale School stands at the northwest corner of Plantation Street and Tampa Street in central Worcester. It is a large 2-1/2 story brick building with a hip roof and a high basement, which is separated from the first floor by a rusticated brownstone water table. Its main facade, facing roughly east, is dominated by a pair of projecting octagonal bays, which flank the main entrance, which is recessed under an archway. Tall sash windows line the walls on either side of these bays, with flat lintels on the first level, and either round-arch or segmented-arch tops on the second level.

The building was built in 1896; its architect is not known. Originally housing just four classrooms, the building was enlarged in 1916, using plans laid for such an expansion at the time of its initial construction. A second school building was added to the rear of the property (facing Tampa Street) in 1928. The building served as a school until 1982, and was after converted into residential condominiums. The second school building was only used until the 1930s, and stood vacant for many years, before also being renovated into residences
